Pool is nice and open at all hours. One or two rooms are much nicer than others (301 and 205 are good) even though they cost the same.

This property has been on Booking.com since May 11, 2011.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Cheap (but still not worth what you get). Good WiFi.

Unclean. Mould problems in the showers (door was falling apart from the mould!). Super old everything - old linen, old towels, old beds, old furniture. We're talking about linen that's from the 70s. Whoever is running this place puts ZERO money in to maintenance!
Just don't stay here! Pay a little more and you'll be in a brand new hotel!
Worse than a run down back packers!

The pool area was ok, old broken furniture but the pool was clean. Nice shower head.

Blankets were dirty and old, light bulbs were missing and not working, bottom of bathroom door was coroded and moldy. All in all, a bad room, and not at all like the pictures posted. Disappointing breakfast. Try somewhere else.

Very good

There was a lot to like about staying at this hotel. The location is excellent ... just a few minutes walking to Chiang Mai gate, the market, and the Saturday walking street, but also central for touring Wats and other landmarks within Chiang Mai. Wifi was super-fast. Our family room was huge with loads of shelves and closets to keep all our stuff organized. Being able to take a dip in the pool every afternoon was very refreshing. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We booked a cooking class through them, but they can help arrange other tours and activities as well. We felt really comfortable there.

We couldn't beat the size of our room -- it was actually two rooms! But some guests may find the furnishing a bit tired; could do with some freshening up. The pool area is charming, but here, too, the chaise longues need some mending.

Staff do not help with much (would not even make a phone call to find out an address for us or book a bus ticket!) and do not communicate with each other. Rooms are REALLY variable... all of the twin rooms seem to kind of be dumps, and even the double rooms have only a few good ones... the rest are run down. Water was brown and unusable several days when we were there... they said it happens when their tank gets low.

Location was quite central in the old city and close to the market

Small family business,
Owner is very pushy is selling additional services ( transportation etc..) He came right away at our first "breakfast" with a list of things he could arrange. Also, breakfast buffet..meaning white toast and some 'sausages'.. And some eggs or not. Might not be there any more, in which case you have to look and ask someone to make some new ones for you. Not exactly the leisure of a buffet. Finally, when we asked for a ride to the airport (10-/+ min) he offered us a ride in his 10+ year old car for 150baht... meanwhile at the airport the fixed price to get to the hotel was 120 in a very luxurious and spacious new SUV car. So rejected his offer and just got a shared taxi for 100 baht instead.

Air conditioning worked well and the wifi was prett strong.

Free Breakfast was a joke and the room was grimy. Thankfully there weren't any roaches. They also wanted us to pay up front which was obvious the next day as I probably would have tried to find another place. The pool wasn't all that clean and the furniture was old and not in the best shape. Looked like it was re painted recently to find that fact.
